    Question

    Can you get trichomonas from oral sex?

    Answer

    In general, trichomonas is spread from direct genital-genital or genital-anal contact. On occasion, however, trich can be spread after oral contact, especially in a situation of genital-oral-genital contact, when the trich is still present in the oral cavity at the time of the next genital contact.
